Hi all- I am sure this is covered somewhere herein, but I can not find it and am hoping that you will take pity on me. I have been charging L1 at my garage, a long way from the house, it has worked fine for a couple of years but the voltage while charging (at the garage ) is about 100 volts and I know this is terrible for efficiency and speed. So today I dragged out an old 240V-120V transformer, swapped out the breakers at the house, ran 240 to the garage and plugged the Nissan factory EVSE in. Voltage reads 120 exactly, herz is 60 exactly, but the EVSE just blinks and does not power up. Plugging it back into a regular 120V outlet it all works fine. Some sort of workaround is needed clearly..... Similar to charging with a generator? Thanks all,... Dan
